Heads up everyone! This is to let you know that we've set the dates for this year's Digital DJ Masterclass Free Training event. Now in its third year, this hugely popular week of videos, downloads, webinars, Q&A sessions and more reveals our proven formula for moving your DJing to pro level on ANY digital gear - while having a lot of fun.

For the first time, Digital DJ Tips is hosting its own room at the BPM Show , with five learning sessions to help you with everything from playing a warm-up DJ set to breaking into radio, making mixtapes, and getting DJ bookings. Plus, we're hosting an additional two sessions across the rest of the show.

For our weekend post, Digital DJ Tips member T Simpson writes: "I will admit I have never really taken the time to look at a DJ course but I thought the best way to learn is through trial and error. Am I being old fashioned here or would you say there is a genuine benefit from doing a course?"

Today I want to dive into proper flyer design and hopefully help you build better advertising for your events. I'll show you mistakes many make and how to get the most for your time and/or money...regardless if you design them yourself or hire someone to do it.
